Sucker for a sleeveless shirt



I am an absolute sucker for a shirt, any kind of shirt, there's just something about them, you can wear them with almost anything and there are so many different types. This summers main trend and quite possibly one of my favourite for a while, the sleeveless shirt. I have a burgundy one from topshop which I love and a check crop one which was a favourite find from ebay, but of course I'm always on the look out for new ones to add to my collection, so when I saw this man's shirt in a charity shop, I knew it was meant to be! It took a hell of a lot of sewing (I'm yet to learn the art of machining so it was all done by hand) but it was totally worth it. The shirt I brought was far too wide for me so I cut the sides and re-hemmed them, which made it more fitted and then, of course, I took the sleeves off! I love it, it has a really nice old fashioned collar on it which works so well with the buttoned up look. I wore it out the other night with high wasted shorts, I tied it so it was cropped even though I was going camping, but it was worth the cold. Apologies about the pictures, there from my webcam rather than camera. Love and stuff x
